 This is my first challenge. I originally submitted a different photo, one with my husband and our nephew on the ATV.

Later I was disappointed to realize that my camera's date was off, so the Exif date read out of range for this challenge.

So, tried a reshoot with my husband. He was happy to oblige, since he loves to ride! After two reshoots, I finally found a shot I was fairly happy with.

Not much editing, just a crop, plus a tiny bit color correction.

I have received a couple of comments about my husbands lack of safety gear, and I wanted to state that normally he is quite safe when he is riding.

We were in our backyard, and he kept zooming past me at about 2 or 3 mph. I am sorry that it looked like we were trying to promote unsafe riding. It was not my intention.

Thanks for all the constructive comments.

Shouldn't something be in relatively good focus?

I hope it's considered 'helpful' to maybe suggest to the rider that he always wear a helmet!

EDIT:

In that case, I'm sure there's a warning label on the seat that says 'Never ride double'. And is the riders helmet DOT approved? (Sorry, I was lurking at your photo website!) Hey, just kidding! But not really, I can't help it - Safety is my business. Okay, the photo: The feeling of motion is very evident and the composition is nicely done. Good luck to ya in your first challenge!

Would have helped to limit some of the blur on the subject.
Nice riding gear, for a fool.

This really gives the feeling of speed/movement. I'm a fan of this type of blur photo. Very nice.
